.NET Are there any flip clock controls?

Question

Is there any flip clock for the .NET application (Winforms)?

Ideally, it would look like on the BlackBerry Bold:

UPDATE 1:

Following this link, https://stackoverflow.com/a/165442/1/ I added an element node to my project to host the WPF retrospective project that @Shane mentioned.

UPDATE 2:

A few steps that I followed:

• Compile RetroClock
• Add a link to the DLL for the WinForm application.
• Add 'using WPFControls.Clocks;'
• Add 'elementHost' to the form

• In the Form Load add event:

  //create retroclock

  RetroClock rc = new RetroClock();

  //add retroclock to element host

  elementHost1.Child = rc;

UPDATE 3:

Clock

 //style clock rc.Height = 30; rc.IncludeLeadingZero = true; rc.IsAmPmVisible = true; rc.FontSize = 60; rc.HorizontalAlignment = System.Windows.HorizontalAlignment.Center; rc.TimeFormat = TimeFormats.Hour12; 

Answer 1

Come along with Joel, there is a simple WPF here .

Answer 2

This would be a little inappropriate for winforms, the main motive of which is to expose common .Net controls to help developers create Windows applications that use a "standard" look. This does not mean that you will not find it, but first you should think about a third party. All that Microsoft provides is, at best, an afterthought.

WPF, on the other hand, is much better suited for this kind of thing.

Answer 3

This is pretty easy to do on your own. Add a class, derive it from Control. You will need a timer that holds it; its Tick Tick method calls Invalidate (). Override OnPaint () to draw the numbers and am / pm indicator. You will need the TextRenderer.DrawText () overload, which draws inside the rectangle to get the numbers in the center. Draw a black line in the center.

It should be fun.
